Seven lilies in Sheki

In the gardens of the Khan’s Palace, Sheki, Azerbaijan, March 2017

Back in 2017 I spent a week or so exploring Azerbaijan, a country I loved. And now, seven years later, I’m getting back to the Caucasus. Sadly I don’t have time to include Azerbaijan in this trip: I’ll be focusing mainly on Georgia, with a few days in Armenia.
